o Eliminate the "!mapentzone" check from vm_map_entry_create() and
vm_map_entry_dispose(). Reviewed by: tegge
o Fix white-space usage in vm_map_entry_create().
or user vm_maps. This implementation has two key benefits when compared
to vm_map_{user_,}pageable(): (1) it avoids a race condition through
the use of "in-transition" vm_map entries and (2) it eliminates lock
recursion on the vm_map.
Note: there is still an error case that requires clean up.

o Add a stub for vm_map_wire().
Note: the description of the previous commit had an error. The in-
transition flag actually blocks the deallocation of a vm_map_entry by
vm_map_delete() and vm_map_simplify_entry().
or user vm_maps. In accordance with the standards for munlock(2),
and in contrast to vm_map_user_pageable(), this implementation does not
allow holes in the specified region. This implementation uses the
"in transition" flag described below.
o Introduce a new flag, "in transition," to the vm_map_entry.
Eventually, vm_map_delete() and vm_map_simplify_entry() will respect
this flag by deallocating in-transition vm_map_entrys, allowing
the vm_map lock to be safely released in vm_map_unwire() and (the
forthcoming) vm_map_wire().
o Modify vm_map_simplify_entry() to respect the in-transition flag.

vm_map_create(), and vm_map_submap().
o Make further use of a local variable in vm_map_entry_splay()
that caches a reference to one of a vm_map_entry's children.
(This reduces code size somewhat.)
o Revert a part of revision 1.66, deinlining vmspace_pmap().
(This function is MPSAFE.)
deinlining vm_map_entry_behavior() and vm_map_entry_set_behavior()
actually increases the kernel's size.
o Make vm_map_entry_set_behavior() static and add a comment describing
its purpose.
o Remove an unnecessary initialization statement from vm_map_entry_splay().
into the vm_object layer:
o Acquire and release Giant in vm_object_shadow() and
vm_object_page_remove().
o Remove the GIANT_REQUIRED assertion preceding vm_map_delete()'s call
to vm_object_page_remove().
o Remove the acquisition and release of Giant around vm_map_lookup()'s
call to vm_object_shadow().
and vm_map_delete(). Assert GIANT_REQUIRED in vm_map_delete()
only if operating on the kernel_object or the kmem_object.
o Remove GIANT_REQUIRED from vm_map_remove().
o Remove the acquisition and release of Giant from munmap().
the last accessed datum is moved to the root of the splay tree.
Therefore, on lookups in which the hint resulted in O(1) access,
the splay tree still achieves O(1) access. In contrast, on lookups
in which the hint failed miserably, the splay tree achieves amortized
logarithmic complexity, resulting in dramatic improvements on vm_maps
with a large number of entries. For example, the execution time
for replaying an access log from www.cs.rice.edu against the thttpd
web server was reduced by 23.5% due to the large number of files
simultaneously mmap()ed by this server. (The machine in question has
enough memory to cache most of this workload.)
Nothing comes for free: At present, I see a 0.2% slowdown on "buildworld"
due to the overhead of maintaining the splay tree. I believe that
some or all of this can be eliminated through optimizations
to the code.

perform an extra witness check in that case to make sure we don't hold
any locks when performing a M_WAITOK allocation.

o Replace GIANT_REQUIRED in vm_object_madvise() with the acquisition

mallochash. Mallochash is going to go away as soon as I introduce the
kfree/kmalloc api and partially overhaul the malloc wrapper. This can't happen
until all users of the malloc api that expect memory to be aligned on the size
of the allocation are fixed.
